At an electronic manufacturing company, the quality manager of a process improvement project
measures the weight of TV screens by weighing a sample of five randomly picked TV screens daily. The
manufacturing process is currently considered to be in control, with the standard deviation of sample
means equaling 0.45 inches. The results of the last four days are presented in the attached table.

What are the upper control limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL) of the range chart? Round to the
nearest hundredth.
(1.53, 2.99)
Correct!
(0, 4.49)
(0, 3.69)
(2.13, 27.93)
UCL(R) = 4.49; LCL(R) = 0. Find the range for each day. The range is the maximum value minus the
minimum value. For example, the range for Day 1 is 28.91 -26.64 = 2.27. The ranges for Day 1 to Day 4
are 2.27, 1.72, 1.53, and 2.99, respectively. The average of the ranges R-bar = 2.13 inches. UCL(R) =
R-bar x D4, LCL(R) = R-bar x D3.
For a sample size of five, D4 = 2.11 and D3 = 0.
UCL(R) =2.13 x 2.11 = 4.49.
LCL(R)=2.13x0=0.
Question 2
10/ 10 pts
According to the customer’s specification given to the manufacturer, the length of a shoe should not
deviate from the correct size by more than 1 mm. In the manufacturing process, the standard deviation
of this length is 0.32 mm and the mean is equal to the correct size. Find the capability ratio of this
process for three standard deviations. Is this process capable?
0.52: no

0.52; yes
1.04; no
Correct!
1.04; yes
The capability ratio is calculated as the upper specification limit (USL) - the lower specification limit (LSL)
divided by 6 (sigma). The deviation from the correct size (mean) is 1 mm on each side. Cp = [(X-bar +1)
— (X-bar -1)]/6sigma = 2/(6 x 0.32) = 1.04 > 1, which indicates that the process is capable.
Question 3
10/ 10 pts
Small deviations from a target value that are acceptable in design specification are called .
Performance specifications
Correct!
Tolerances
Standard error
Defects
In most instances, small deviations from a target value are acceptable in the design specification. These
allowable deviations are called tolerances. For example, a luxury car might have an interior noise
specification (on a particular road surface and speed) of 70 £ 0.5 decibels. A car with a noise level
consistently at 70.4 decibels would have perfect conformance quality on this attribute. Performance
specifications are target levels of performance qualities decided upon at the design stage. A defect is an
error or significant deviation from specifications in a product or part.
